Don't you get tired of people telling you what you should and shouldn't do? Are you a parent or friend who continues to give advice to those you love? Do you know how to give advice? Do you get upset when others don't take your advice? Here is the secret- It's not about the information. It's about the Inspiration.
This family had the dirtiest house on the block. Neighbors implored the family to clean up their property, but to no avail.
One summer day a friend of the family gave them a flower bulb and asked them to plant it under their window, as a gesture of friendship. By the next spring, a little green shoot pushed its way to the surface and soon a yellow flower unfolded. As the family sat in their front room, the wife said, "Wow, that flower is so beautiful, I think I'll clean the window so we can get a better look at it." Inspiration is the key to giving information.
After she had washed the windows, she noticed her curtains looked grungy. So she washed them as well. The husband noticed that the clean curtains didn't go with the dirty walls, so he painted them. He also went on to paint the outside of the house. After his hard work, he decided to spruce up the yard so the house would look nice.
Information without Inspiration equals nothing. I-I= O
Quote of the month: "While those hesitate because they feel inferior, others are busy making mistakes and becoming superior."
